England's Test match with India at Trent Bridge will provide "an enormous boost" to Nottingham's economy, it is claimed.

The five-day match begins on Wednesday, July 9, and will see tens of thousands of cricket fans in the city.

Events are being planned to make the most of the match.

As reported in the Post, the bar at the Nottingham Riviera is set to open two weeks early, with screens being put up for people to watch the action. Keith Laird, head of business development at tourism organisation Experience Nottinghamshire, said: "Experience Nottinghamshire has been working closely with Trent Bridge, VisitEngland, the county and city councils, Rushcliffe Borough Council and Nottingham Hoteliers' Association to ensure we have a co-ordinated tourism message.
